goldim@gmail.com "Gaúcho, iniciei minha jornada profissional aos 16 anos. Mesmo trabalhando meio período, pois estudava no turno da manhã, já percebi que ficar trancado em um escritório não era o que eu queria para minha vida. Aos 18 anos tive minha primeira experiência trabalhando em uma empresa de tecnologia, atuando no segmento de redes de computadores. Apesar do ambiente descontraído e acolhedor, que me trouxe muito aprendizado e amadurecimento, a rotina de um trabalho em escritório tradicional e horas extras não era o que eu buscava. Aos 23 anos optei por abrir minha própria empresa, e decidi que seria dono do meu próprio tempo. Fundei uma empresa que, em 2008, já nascia com a cultura de trabalho remoto, prezando o equilíbrio entre vida pessoal e profissional. Troquei a área de redes de computadores pela área de privacidade e proteção de dados, onde aprendi a falar sobre negócios, para unir o conhecimento técnico com as demandas estratégicas das empresas. Ao longo de +15 anos de empresa, me envolvi em diversos ecossistemas começando como voluntário na ISSA Brasil, chapter Brasileiro da ISSA (Information Systems Security Association), e founder do Chapter Brasileiro da CSA (Cloud Security Alliance). Como membro da CSA, fui convidado a participar do Certification Board da associação, momento no qual tive o prazer de colaborar com o desenvolvimento de duas certificações (CCSK e CCSP). Além de colaborar nos dias de hoje com diversas entidades do ecossistema de inovação e empreendedorismo. Entusiasta de atividades outdoor e apaixonado pelo mar desde sempre, trouxe para a vida corporativa importantes ensinamentos do esporte de aventura: equilíbrio, resiliência, comunidade e colaboração. Além de claro, o gosto por desafios. Atualmente, encontro minha maior motivação no compartilhamento desses aprendizados como atleta executivo, incentivando outras pessoas a buscarem esse equilíbrio." https://www.linkedin.com/in/goldim/ https://www.instagram.com/leogoldim/ https://livinghard.substack.com/ ========================================

These questions were submitted by attendees of the webcast, Calming the COVID-19 Storm: Delivering Effective Clinical and Nursing Care, which took place on May 7, 2020.  This podcast covers the following questions: Can you explain why COVID-19 patients go into acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and ARDS? What is silent hypoxemia? How do you manage they symptoms of shortness of breath and anxiety in a non-intubated patient? I heard the goal is to not intubate the patient; is this true? How do you optimize oxygenation in patients before they are intubated and placed on the ventilator? We had several questions about positive end expiratory pressure, or PEEP. Can you talk about the role of PEEP please? Is there an average or maximum level of PEEP that is recommended? If you have a patient who has COPD, is your management of the ventilator any different? Do you recommend proning a nonintubated patient? What is the trigger to start proning patients with ARDS? I know you said that CPR can be performed with the patient prone. Isn't it difficult to do CPR with the patient prone? How do you do CPR in a proned patient? Can a laryngeal mask airway, or LMA, be used to oxygenate a patient with COVID-19? Have they tried administering surfactant as they do in the NICU for respiratory distress syndrome? *Note: this podcast was recorded on May 19, 2020.

What is the cytokine storm? I heard that patients with COVID-19 develop a coagulopathy and have excessive clotting. How do you manage their clotting and why is this so important? Do COVID-19 patients also have bleeding issues besides clotting issues? I hear patients are discharged on anticoagulation; how long are they on lovenox and what is the dose? Have you noticed COVID positive patients going into a new onset rapid a fib? If a patient presents with heart failure due to COVID, will the ejection fraction be affected? Is there a role of aspirin in the early stages of covid-19? Can you review the difference of CRRT, SLEDD and PIRRT? How do you keep the circuit from clotting? Is peritoneal dialysis helpful for acute kidney injury associated with COVID-19 or only CRRT or hemodialysis?

Have you ever been concerned you were misdiagnosed with T2D? Then this is an episode for you! It kicks off a 2-part series on LADA, a type of diabetes that's often misdiagnosed as T2D. This week you'll hear from medical expert and physician, Dr Leonard Sander's about the medical pieces of LADA. Join me next week to listen into someone's personal story of moving from a T2D diagnosis to a LADA diagnosis.About Dr Sanders: Dr. Sanders received his medical doctorate at the University of California in San Francisco. He has more than 45 years of direct patient care, administration, teaching, and research in medicine and is formally trained and certified in several disciplines. These disciplines include Internal Medicine, Endocrinology and Metabolism, Nephrology, Hypertension, Lipidology, Diabetes Education, and Advanced Diabetes Management. Currently, Dr. Sanders is the Medical Director of Diabetes Care at Montage Medical Group in Monterey, California. He also is the immediate past Chair of the Certification Board for Diabetes Care and Education (CBDCE), previously known as the National Certification Board for Diabetes Educators. Dr. Sanders has been formally teaching and motivating patients with diabetes to improve their overall health for over 40 years. Before his current position in Monterey, he developed and directed for ten years the first Diabetes Care Program for the Pima Indians at Gila River Health Care in Arizona. Dr. Sanders developed the program based on the Chronic Care Model and the Social Determinants of Health. The program received NCQA Diabetes Recognition and continues actively today. Dr. Sanders’ general approach to patient care is to support the patient and family to be the primary managers of their health care. His goal in diabetes care is to impart sufficient knowledge, education, and support to patients and their families to allow them to feel empowered and self-determined to effectively self-manage their diabetes. This approach promotes cultural sensitivity and considers patient social determinants of health. He and his diabetes support team encourage each patient with diabetes to feel empowered to perform 10 Self-Care Behaviors that improve their ABCS and reduce or prevent Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). ABCS is an abbreviation for A1c, Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, and Smoking. These concepts are review daily with each of his patient that have diabetes.This is going to be a seasonal podcast!

Music, we listen to it when waking up, while in transit, at work, and with friends. It is a form of entertainment, but also has the potential to provide so much more. Music is a universal language with the ability to connect and reach people on social, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual levels. It can bring us joy and motivate us, accompany us through difficult times, evoke nostalgia, and alleviate our worries. These qualities allow music to be applied to improving physical, emotional, and mental well-being. In this episode, we invite you to join us as we explore the science of music therapy. We hear from five music therapists working in various aspects of the field: Dr. Michael Thaut, Canada Research Chair in Music and Health Sciences; Dr. SarahRose Black, Music Therapist at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and Kensington Health; Priya Shah, Music Therapist at Journey Home Hospice, Fudger House, and the Music Therapy Centre; Dr. Corene Hurt-Thaut, Assistant Professor of Music and Health Sciences at the Faculty of Music at the University of Toronto, and Program Director of the Academy of Neurological Music Therapy; and Bernice Chu, Neurologic Music Therapy Fellow in the United Kingdom at the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability. In addition to our guests’ insights, they also shared musical snippets of their work with their clients, which may tug at your heart strings and inspire. You’ll want to stay tuned to the very end! We hope this episode opens your ears and heart to the role of music in health and wellbeing, and inspires you to listen and explore the power of music. Until next time, keep it raw!

Date: March 10, 2016 Featuring: Mark Jarrett, MD, MBA, MS, Chief Quality Offer and Senior Vice President, Northwell Health Fran Ganz-Lord, MD, FACP, Director of Ambulatory Quality & Medical Director, Northwell Health Premium IPA Network and Northwell ACO Ann Lewis, CEO, CareSouth Carolina Tejal Gandhi, MD, MPH, CPPS, President and CEO, National Patient Safety Foundation, Lucian Leape Institute, Certification Board for Professionals in Patient Safety Jennifer Lenoci-Edwards, RN, MPH, CPPS, Director, Patient Safety, IHI What comes to mind when you think about patient safety in the ambulatory setting? Infection rates? Probably not. The issues are of course quite different in outpatient care, and that's one reason it's not always obvious to practitioners and staff which of their many daily activities might inadvertently contribute to patient harm. Activities such as failing to follow up on patient referrals, or to communicate test results. Or getting frustrated with the EHR and creating workarounds.   IHI's patient safety leads have been doing a lot of thinking about the need for a new safety framework suited to ambulatory care in order to better highlight the unique fault lines and improvement priorities for this setting. Components of this framework and how they’re being tested and applied, as well as real-world examples from Northwell Health and CareSouth Carolina, are explored on this WIHI.

intrusive passing of the tax provision of Obama's healthcare plan. This has created a fissure in the Constitution, a horrible outcome that opens a door to the government violating our civil liberties. Jonathan breaks down the consequences of the violations, such as our liberty to choose and right to privacy in the interest of a government mandate that only benefits the government. Moving on to TSA, Jonathan divulges the massive problems with this act. “The TSA is an institution that is riddled with corruption and riddled with abuse,” he explains. The elderly, pregnant women, infants and disabled individuals with no record of criminal activity are being subjected to humiliating and highly intrusive searches all over the U.S. Jonathan defines the difference in tactics from a defensive position versus an offensive position, with the latter producing far better results. He advocates training the citizenry to be more aware of suspicious behavior and to better defend themselves.  Jonathan gives an update on the work against the FDA and the First Amendment. Jonathan W. Emord is one of the nation's leading free speech attorneys. He has defeated the Food and Drug Administration a remarkable eight times in federal court, more times than any other attorney in American history, earning him the title, “FDA Dragon Slayer.” He is the 2007 recipient of the Cancer Control Society's Humanitarian Award for “winning and preserving our great civil rights to life, to liberty, and to health freedoms.” He is the only non-scientist ever appointed to the Certification Board for Nutrition Specialists and serves as that organization's Vice Chair. In 2010, he became the first person awarded the title “Honorary Nutrition Specialist” by the CBNS. Congressman Ron Paul says “[a]ll freedom-loving Americans are in debt to Jonathan Emord for his courtroom [victories]” and calls him a “hero of the health freedom revolution.” Formerly an attorney in the Reagan Administration's Federal Communications Commission, Emord has practiced constitutional and administrative law in Washington, D.C. for the past twenty-five years. He has been a Guest Lecturer, Georgetown University, Department of Biochemistry, Course in Nutrition. He is on the Review Board of the Journal of Food Product Marketing and International Journal of Food & Agribusiness Marketing. He is routinely consulted by industry, Congress, and the media on regulatory issues that affect health freedom. He is the author of four critically acclaimed books: Freedom, Technology and the First Amendment (1991); The Ultimate Price (2007); The Rise of Tyranny (2008); Global Censorship of Health Information (2010); and Restore the Republic (2012). Mr. Emord is the American Justice columnist for USA Today Magazine.

Jason Hartman and prior guest, Jonathan Emord, get together once again to talk about current issues affecting our rights, beginning with the damaging and highly intrusive passing of the tax provision of Obama's healthcare plan. This has created a fissure in the Constitution, a horrible outcome that opens a door to the government violating our civil liberties. Jonathan breaks down the consequences of the violations, such as our liberty to choose and right to privacy in the interest of a government mandate that only benefits the government. Moving on to TSA, Jonathan divulges the massive problems with this act. “The TSA is an institution that is riddled with corruption and riddled with abuse,” he explains. The elderly, pregnant women, infants and disabled individuals with no record of criminal activity are being subjected to humiliating and highly intrusive searches all over the U.S. Jonathan defines the difference in tactics from a defensive position versus an offensive position, with the latter producing far better results. He advocates training the citizenry to be more aware of suspicious behavior and to better defend themselves.  Jonathan gives an update on the work against the FDA and the First Amendment.Jonathan W. Emord is one of the nation's leading free speech attorneys. He has defeated the Food and Drug Administration a remarkable eight times in federal court, more times than any other attorney in American history, earning him the title, “FDA Dragon Slayer.” He is the 2007 recipient of the Cancer Control Society's Humanitarian Award for “winning and preserving our great civil rights to life, to liberty, and to health freedoms.” He is the only non-scientist ever appointed to the Certification Board for Nutrition Specialists and serves as that organization's Vice Chair. In 2010, he became the first person awarded the title “Honorary Nutrition Specialist” by the CBNS. Congressman Ron Paul says “[a]ll freedom-loving Americans are in debt to Jonathan Emord for his courtroom [victories]” and calls him a “hero of the health freedom revolution.” Formerly an attorney in the Reagan Administration's Federal Communications Commission, Emord has practiced constitutional and administrative law in Washington, D.C. for the past twenty-five years. He has been a Guest Lecturer, Georgetown University, Department of Biochemistry, Course in Nutrition.

Since 2005, the American Music Therapy Association and the Certification Board for Music Therapists have collaborated on a State Recognition Operational Plan. The primary purpose of this Plan is to get music therapy and our MT-BC credential recognized by individual states so that citizens can more easily access our services. The AMTA Government Relations staff and CBMT Regulatory Affairs staff provide guidance and technical support to state task forces throughout the country as they work towards state recognition. To date, their work has resulted in 35 active state task forces, 2 licensure bills passed in 2011, and an estimated 10 bills being filed in 2012 that seek to create either a music therapy registry or license for music therapy. This month, our focus is on YOU and on getting you excited about advocacy. So my guests this week will be Judy Simpson, Dena Register, and Kimberly Sena Moore from the State Recognition Operational Plan to talk about Music Therapy Advocacy and how you can get involved!
